What's missing?



Getting an itch to do some watch buying/trading!

Happy with current collection as it covers all the bases.






The JLC gets little wrist time ,but I want to have a Reverso as a dress watch. Have a blue PP 5711 coming in a couple months time.

Any ideas?

I'm thinking add a Black GMT ( had a Pepsi and sold it as it didn't really "sing to me" )

or trade the JLC 976 for a Reverso Grande Taille + a Tudor Pelagos Blue.

Very nice collection! The reverso looks great on you!
I could see a GMT (BLNR?) fitting in nicely. Pelagos as well.

You need a nice GMT.
Current collection is terrific and diverse.

Nice spread.

A GMT TTc would be a perfect addition.

Ummmm, no enabling here.

Very interesting! I did try on a 5167 and 5164, didn't like the tropical strap.

The GMTs are always getting my attention so I bought this


Sold it because it didn't feel right ( the older gen bracelet didn't give confidence and was a bit too much colour for me)

The TT is def something I'll try on thanks!

Flip the sub for an, AP Diver. It will give you even more brand diversity.

Agree, a watch with a gmt complication would be a great addition to your well rounded collection.

If you want a GMT, what about trading your Reverso for an ultra-thin reverso duo? Probably the coolest dual time function out there.

Interesting idea. Amazing complication alright. I'd never travel with my Reverso. It's mirror polish and leather strap isn't very holiday friendly

Nothing is missing as far as I can tell. Maybe a vintage YG Day-Date on a leather strap?

A Brietling Navitimer would fit in that collection. You own the watches each brand is best known for. Although I not sure what IWC is best known for, but the portofino is pretty classic. The Navitimer would fit just fine.

Stunning, truly bloody stunning collection !!!

The IWC is such a beautiful watch. You've certainly got all of the bases covered.

If I were you i'd add a little TT YG to add some colour.
